Hi all, well ive fitted the bathroom suite now for the tiling :!:
I am putting a border ( woman in shop called them a fancy name " listello ) all around the bathroom at ceiling height .There is 8 in a group joined together by some nylon backing. size 30mm by 65 mm

Is there a special way to stick them to the wall with this backing on it :?: and also how do i take them around the corners :?: do i just take them off the backing then cut them if need be and stick them
Thanks P M

Yes, but only slightly special.

Use a very thin bed of adhesive, combed, and hang the mosaic panel as if it were wallpaper, i.e. touch the wall at the top first, then the lower part, then press it all firmly. I use a short length of true timber or a spirit level to press evenly. The objective is to stick the panel into the adhesive so that it can't slide down, hence the thin bed.

Er, no; don't pull off the individual squares - just cut the backing with a Stanley knife.
